Almanac: twice annual newsletter
Almanac, a newsletter for members and friends of AAS, is published twice annually in spring/summer and fall/winter. Its purpose is to publish news and feature stories regarding the collections, those who use the library, and members of the Society.
Annual reports provide an overview of the year: notable acquisitions, fellows and scholarly research, seminars and conferences, workshops for K-12 educators, publications, public programs, endowed lectures, online exhibitions, and behind-the-scenes work being done in cataloging, conservation, and digitization.
AAS publishes books under its own imprint. Most are bibliographies of key genres or areas of American imprints, edited primary documents, other reference tools, and papers from AAS conferences.
Full color exhibition catalogs have accompanied recent AAS exhibtions, including Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere (2019) and In Pursuit of a Vision: Two Centuries of Collecting at the American Antiquarian Society (2012).
Commonplace: The Journal of Early American Life
In 2019, the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture joined the AAS in a new partnership to redesign and reinvigorate the site.
This blog provides a virtual platform to highlight AAS’s antiquarian treasures (and oddities) as well as to share helpful resources, programs, and events.
